What does it feel to be alone
To have a house and never feel at home
You look in the mirror to find someone familiar
But all you see is a stranger

Your dreams are so far away
It’s too hard to smile and too hard to pray
And no one knows you are there
You don’t show your pain and they are so unaware

That all you need is a smile
All you need is for someone to care
You feel lost and alone and you’re so far from home
And all you need is a smile

They can’t see through your mask
You’ve learned to hide your pain so fast
You didn’t know what it’d be like
It’s too late to turn back…this is your new life

All you need is a smile
All you need is for someone to care
You feel lost and alone you’re so far from home
All you need is a smile

Oh this is not your world—this is not who you are
This is not what you planned on—how have you gone so far
Away from your life—away from your dream
You’re trying so hard—oh what does it mean
You cry in the dark and hope nobody hears
You’ve come all this way and realized your fears
That you are all alone all alone
